About this web site

The Freeware Hall of Fame (what's freeware?) began life as a collection of
free computer programs circulated around the world by mail. Later it became a dial-up
computer bulletin board promoting and distributing free software.
In the mid-1990s Boardwatch Magazine named it one of the world's 25 best BBSs.

When the BBS era passed we opened the web site FREEWAREHOF.ORG
on 3/26/1997 at 5 AM, with FHOF sharing the site with the writings of
the man who gave us the Great American Email©, Rey Barry.

This site has a Table of Contents with links to more than 70 of our features.
There are also 222 exciting photos and images like the six super models below.

Here you're a guest, not a marketing target
We do not collect data (Google collects some)
You use us - we don't use you

No ads here. Our endorsement isn't for sale
You don't sell your body to pay the rent; FreeHOF doesn't accept advertising

Our commercial sides are ebay as useraccount2 and our store Puckish Tendencies
at Zazzle where we create truly unique mugs, bumperstickers, buttons,
and mouse pads found nowhere else in the world.

Here you will find our extremely rare, historic Theloneous Monk "postage stamp."
I share what may be the last supply in the world by selling this mouse
pad at Zazzle where anyone can buy it.

We also sell a mug with my photos of Anna Anderson, who believed
she was Anastasia Romanov, and Maria Rasputin, daughter of
THAT Rasputin. She believed in Anna.

We reply to all email, not always coherently

We've had umpteen million visits - hope you find yours worthwhile
